[General] How to install VZ Flutes, molded into standard gaurds...

[Zeussy]

now you just need to rig the door mechanisms to the mirrors to open the doors like my mate did.

How did he do that? got any info on how he did it???

hey guys i want to do this to a VS but i wasnt sure exactly how to do it not so much the cutting and moulding in part but the wiring

so just need to know would the wires from the side indicators on a VS work the same for the indicators on the flutes or do they need to be changed at all lol sorry if the question sounds stupid just that the lights in the flutes look like their LED lights or something were as the VS are just like bulbs

The wiring is easy as, on the VY it was just 'unplug the old' and 'plug in the new' sort of thing, the flutes and the flashers come with 6'' of wire and a plug on the end, if it doesnt plug into your original wiring, just cut the plug off your old ones, and solder it to the new ones, (if you have got two wires there)

And like Calaber said, its just a standard bulb, so nothing tricky there... some might be, but not the 'SS' ones..

i put a set of these flutes on my vs a few years ago and had them moulded in so there wasnt that outline on the vz but after a few months the paint around it started to crack had the guards sprayed twice till i got oer it and put standard ones back on hopefully yours wont have the same problem

Ahh that sucks, lol, hope it doesnt happen to me...

So every one "Don't rush out and cut your gaurds to pieces just yet, lol wait and see if it cracks" I'll let every one know how they go...

This ones been in there for about two weeks, and so far so good?

How did you put your ones in? fibre glass - how many layers?

 

[VSEXEC]

it was fibreglassed but im not surehow many layers but i think it was the panel beater that was responsible for the cracks

Just give it a month or two, see if they're going to crack or not?!! lol, I hope they don't!!!
